Let's click, let's click
Familiar voices sounded again in the civilian area, and with the previous harvest, these days, the people at the bottom of the society have slept much shallower, and from time to time they pricked up their ears to listen to the movement outside.
On this day, the familiar voice sounded again, and immediately someone got up and ran outside, but before he could run two steps, more poor people had already poured out. What attracted the poor people to wait in the middle of the night was the silver taels and all kinds of jewelry all over the floor.
On this night, a large amount of silver and jewelry had fallen to the ground, and the poor people began to pick up them frantically, after all, what they grabbed at this time was their own. The poor people are so happy, there have been such good things for many days, and tonight they can make a fortune again!
Different from the happiness of the people at the bottom of the slums, the clans and merchants in the Guoren District complained again and again, and almost broke the threshold of Dali Temple in the past few days. Shen Qianji wanted to plan well, but unexpectedly received a report from the people every once in a while, at first it was just some businessmen, Shen Qianji could ignore it temporarily, but then even the ministers of the court came, now Shen Qianji can no longer sit idly by, otherwise he will be involved in the government by the officials, and he Shen Qianji will also have to make a fuss.
"What's going on? After these days, you can't find a clue! Shen Qianji angrily asked his subordinates, and without waiting for his subordinates to reply, he began to look through the case file at random, almost all of the contents were the same: theft.
"Lord Shen, we still found some information."
"Say!"
"The stolen silver taels and jewellery would show up in the slums at night, and even on these days, the slums would be able to pick up the silver taels and jewellery in the slums in the middle of the night."
"So it's robbing the rich and helping the poor?"
"That's what my subordinates think. The subordinates had already led people to search the slums and found some jewelry, which was eventually confirmed to have been lost in the homes of some merchants. ”
"In that case, you have to take people to arrest all those poor people and make them hand over the stolen goods!"
"My lord, no! The slums are the size of half a Chinese area, and they are all people at the bottom of society and some homeless people, ruffians, and gangsters, and many of the silver taels they have picked up have been squandered. And if you really want to lead troops to encircle and suppress, it is not enough to rely on these subordinates, unless you can come with an army, otherwise these poor people will run around, they are all people who have nothing, they are really urgent, what can't be done? ”
"Bring troops to encircle and suppress? You can figure it out! It seems that I won't punish you heavily, you don't know how good I am! ”
"My lord! No matter how the lord punishes his subordinates, he should be, but seeing that the day of the emperor's funeral is coming, if the lord really does it with those homeless people, I am afraid that it will delay the big thing of the adult! ”
Saying this, Shen Qianji's mood was also a little more stable, he looked at his subordinates kneeling on the ground with some satisfaction, and said, "You have a vision and a general understanding." Then I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, who else will come to report the crime today? ”
"Today's arrivals are the Su family with Hengyuan, Lord Xiao of the Ministry of Works, Lord Sun, the head of the Ministry of Households, and Lord Yuan, the left deputy envoy of the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
These officials are not small, and some of them are far above his Shen Qianji official rank. Even the Su family, who is the same as Hengyuan, is not easy to deal with, the Su family is the biggest businessman in Daliang, and Su Qingfeng, the richest man in the capital, is a figure that even the prince is happy to befriend, let alone something that he Shen Qianji can deal with casually.
This trouble is really not small, Shen Qianji has a headache, what kind of thief is this, he actually stole everything into the mansion of these richest men in the capital and the great yuan of the court, and I don't know what these people are doing to eat! But the matter has come to this, as the master of Dali Temple, Shen Qianji has an unshirkable responsibility, and he must give an explanation to these people, and at least take some action.
"I know, you continue to search the whole capital with your subordinates, and all of them will be used, except for the guards of the cells."
"Subordinates obey!"
Shen Qianji pounded his brain, returned to the study and continued to lay out his net.
The fact that someone in the capital robbed the rich and helped the poor has already spread all over the market, and has become one of the most enthusiastic talking points of the people after dinner, so what else is the people are concerned about besides this? That is the funeral of Emperor Liang Heng Xiao Fangxu. The imperial court announced that Emperor Liang had died of illness, and decided to hold a funeral ceremony on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, ordering the whole country to ban dance and music for one month.
"Yo, little Liuzi, aren't you so busy in Lengyuezhai on weekdays that your feet don't touch the ground? How can I have time to drink tea at my tea shop today? ”
"Hey, there's nothing to do these days, and the store door won't be opened, aren't I idle and bored?"
"Isn't it! Our emperor died of illness, and the following month will have to live such a tasteless life. ”
"Hey, this kind of thing like the emperor's death is not something that our ordinary people can say casually, otherwise be careful that the officers and soldiers will arrest you!"
"Little Liuzi, you don't scare people! Don't talk about this, is it difficult to hear you talk about your amorous boss lady of Leng Yuezhai? ”
"My boss lady is not only amorous, you have no chance to see her beauty!" Xiao Liuzi said that Qi Wantong was a thief, "But ah, what I want to talk about is not my boss's wife, but the case of robbing the rich and helping the poor these days!" ”
"Who doesn't know this! It has long been spread all over the capital, and it is really those poor people who are lucky, who were originally so poor that they jingled, hey, they dare to come to my tea shop these days to drink the most expensive snow-topped silver tip! ”
"What's the matter? You are envious, if you are envious, you will go to the slums! ”
"Don't say it, there are really people who have done this, but it's a pity that the slums are now united, and people have been sent to guard the roads in and out, not that the people in the slums are not allowed to enter! Hey, you said there were such strange things in the world! ”
"There's something even more bizarre!" Xiao Liuzi pretended to be mysterious and said to the owner of the tea shop: "If you invite me to drink your snow-topped silver tip, I will tell everyone about it, how about it?" ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the owner of the tea shop had no choice but to make a pot of tea and put it on the table, and then said to Xiao Liuzi angrily: "If what you said is not exciting, you have to give money for this pot of tea!" ”
"No problem!" Xiao Liuzi lowered his voice and said, "Don't you want to make this windfall as well?" Now is the chance! I heard that the knight will throw the stolen silver taels at the junction of Huihu Lane and East 12th Lane on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, don't miss it if you want to make a fortune! ”
"The junction of Huihu Lane and East 12th Lane?" The owner of the tea shop carefully tasted it for a while, "Isn't that Dali Temple not far away?" Isn't it self-defeating to go there and throw the stolen silver taels? ”
"How can the style of the chivalrous warriors be understood by mortals like you and me? Maybe the knights are no longer satisfied with secretly giving silver taels to the poor at night, they want to challenge the imperial court, let the court take a good look at the corrupt officials' wealth, and we ordinary people are struggling to live! ”
"What Xiao Liuzi said is yes! Anyway, it's those chivalrous men that the government wants to arrest, and it's not us, so we're just going to join in the fun, but isn't the fifth day of the fifth month of May the day of the emperor's funeral? ”
"I don't know the days that the knights picked, I'm also hearsay, believe it or not, anyway, I'm going to make luck." After Xiao Liuzi finished speaking, he picked up the teapot and poured it violently, wiped his mouth and got up to leave with satisfaction, and when he left, he didn't forget to remind, "My news is fierce enough, and your pot of good tea is not wasted!" ”
On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of May, the chivalrous warriors will throw the stolen silver taels not far from the Dali Temple, and it didn't take two days to spread all over the capital, and it was spread to the point that women and children knew about it, so naturally it couldn't escape Shen Qianji's ears.
"On the day of the emperor's funeral? It can't be a fraud, right? Shen Qianji was keenly aware of the hidden mystery in this, "Could it be that someone deliberately wants to create chaos outside Dali Temple so that they can break in and save people?" Hmph, this trick can't escape my eyes! Since you are going to come, then I will let you come and have no return! ”
Shen Qianji ordered: "Come on, it's time to ventilate the two in the cell!" ”
